Here is your Money Mail for Tuesday, June 5. BUZZ AT THE BELL Optimistic profit reports powered technology shares Tuesday, carrying a broad swath of the stock market higher. Upbeat news from chip maker Xilinx, software company Comverse Technology and even telecom-equipment pariah Lucent inspired the kind of Nasdaq euphoria rarely seen in recent months. Near day's end, the Nasdaq Composite stood 3.6 percent higher, up 78 to 2,233. Blue chips rose less markedly but still put on a good show. The Dow Jones industrial average climbed 114 to 11,176, largely on the strength of its technology components (Microsoft and IBM both jumped more than 2.5 percent). More broadly, the Standard & Poor's 500 rose 16 to 1,284. Chip stocks and computer networkers stole the show. Xilinx climbed 9.7 percent after the company affirmed its earlier profit forecasts and said order cancellations were slowing. Other makers of chips and related equipment also rose strongly. Intel climbed 4.3 percent, Advanced Micro Devices rose 4.7 percent and KLA Tencor advanced 7.2 percent. Many of these stocks were rebounding from big declines Monday sparked by a worrisome April chip-sales report. Lucent shares surged 6 percent to 8.48 after the company forecast improving quarterly sales figures. More than 20 million shares of Lucent changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange, making it the day's most active NYSE-listed stock. Other makers of telecom components and network equipment fared similarly. Cisco rose 9.2 percent, Cabletron Systems climbed 8.1 percent and Juniper Networks rose 4.8 percent. Among the most widely held names, only a handul of stocks lost ground. Pfizer, Walt Disney and CNBC parent General Electric tallied modest declines, while most other widely recognized companies enjoyed gains. More broadly, utilities, construction companies, photo-imaging stocks and tobacco were among a small group of S&P sectors posting losses on the day.
